    Happy new year, everybody!  Yeah, I know the title of this post isn’t the most optimistic, but I figure if I start with the bar low, we can only be pleasantly surprised going forward.

    I’m very excited about the world premiere of Snowglobe, opening in a mere two days at the Shubin Theater, courtesy of the MacKnight Foundation.  The play is a two-hander, featuring the massive talents of Amanda Schoonover and Charlotte Northeast and directed by Bill McKinlay. A tremendous amount of buzz is wafting about this production, and much…
